Capaldi's final episode was a miserable affair. I rate End of Time higher because it didn't leave me quite so cold. I felt like there was hope for the future because of Smith's rather decent introduction. Twice Upon a Time or whatever it was called was a lifeless episode that did nothing to ease my worries for the future of Who. I ended up watching Home Alone 2 instead because I knew it would have ruined my Christmas evening had I put it on. I eventually watched it a week or so later. The Christmas specials seem to get worse every year. Hopefully this year's special is an announcement that Chibnall has stepped down from his role.

Logopolis was a chintzy hot mess with a foreboding taste of the pointlessly crowded TARDIS and the juvenile lead (juvenile in the professional sense - no longer the wise man with the answers, now the milksop chump getting confused and asking the questions) but easily and by far the capaldi end was the worst ever. By any measure, it was just awful.

People rave over Capaldi but I never saw him as more than a medium talent and a hammy one at that. I still think his strongest performance was two thirds of Lair of the White Worm. The Thick Of It overacting was just painful and typical fandering to the luvvies. Probably what got him the gig as the Doctor.

But anyway yes the Capaldi sendoff. Cringe icing on a cringe cake with a side order of ad hominem against William Hartnell.

As shite as End of Time and Time of the Doctor were, I can only concur with the majority and go with Turd Upon a Turd. A desecration of the original Doctor and original series to bumfuck the plebs castrating the lead for nothing other than political, sexist and anti-male reasons, and the absolute nail in the coffin.

Can I just interject for a brief moment with a completely irrelevant post and say that I really liked the design for the 9th and 10th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver? 11's was too bulky, 12's looked like a toy and 13's looks like a fucking vibrator.

Alright, carry on.

There are a few worsts in my book: Six’s was just a lame duck. I was finally old enough to appreciate his Doctor, and for Baker to not even do his own regeneration was just sad. And Seven’s was the Movie trying too hard to connect back to the series.

I hated Ten’s for a lot of reasons but the whole “I don’t wanna go” bit turned the Doctor into a pansy and it’s one of those things I’ll never forgive RTD for doing to the Doctor.

I did cry for TUAT, but that’s mostly because it felt like watching the last nail being driven into the coffin of Doctor Who. I didn’t cry from the episode as much as I was fairly sure I wouldn’t be watching Doctor Who any longer.

The End of Time, without a doubt. Overblown, over-sentimental, self-indulgent nonsense. Insufferable because of Tennant's dying swan act and a montage of RTD's greatest hits at the end.  Awful.

Welcome to the hive TARDIS.

Personally I say that its a toss up between The End of Time and Twice Upon A Time.

The End of Time was just a mess and cemented Tennant's place as the blubbing Doctor.

What was worse however was the way that it destroyed the Doctor. Now all 13 Doctors are totally different people? Way to fuck up his relationships with every single character from The Brigadier, to Sarah Jane to Davros, to even his relationships with their own characters, like Rose and Captain Jack.

It also ruins previous characters like the Masters story too. Why did the burned Master want more regenerations? He would die either way.

Also its so unprofessional to make the new boy Matt Smith feel so unwelcome just because you won't be producing it? A prime example of how the producers of New Who are fanboys who can't do their own job properly and make everything about them.

However yes Twice Upon A Time was such an insult to Hartnell, and by extension Verity Lambert, and Jacqueline Hill, that its arguably more offensive.

However I didn't get as angry at Twice Upon A Time as by that point so much of the show had been broken it didn't really matter. Cyber Brig, Kissy, Pissy, Missy, Clara, Jodie's casting etc.

Davison's! (I jest!)

I've always had some time for Logopolis, for all its flaws, and I used to enjoy debating it's merits with B Fore, particularly episode 3. I suppose you have to be a fan of season 18's austere tone to enjoy it too. Worst would be a toss-up between Tencunt and Crapoldie - the former because it was the epitome of rtd hubris and his misunderstanding of the concept of heroism, whilst the latter's last 'real' story was just a PC mess despite Simm and Gomez being more convincing (and the less said about the Xmas Hartnell-trashing the better).
